would this make a vibrating noise in a wooden shelf under the tank? (66gal version)

I have two of these under my stand sitting on a tile floor with no vibration. This filter has 3 or 4 (can't remember exactly) rubber feet on the bottom to keep any noise to a minimum. My stand has doors on it and with the doors shut I can't hear any noise, but with the door open i can hear the motor a little. I have had nothing but great experiences with these filters. Highly recommend

Mine absolutely silent. I can hardly hear any noise at all from this puppy with my ear touching it. I haven't noticed or felt vibrations from it either.

No this filter system makes no noise on shelving unit you cannot tell it's running short of the water flow at the top of the tank. It is a superior product!

Noisy is a difficult term to define. Not more noisier than other pumps like it. You can definitely hear pump running. Suggest you have some barrier (wall or floorboard) between you and the pump if you want a quiet environment. Noise resembles a humming sound but does get louder as pressure builds up.

The noise is no more than others that I've heard. As far as the gas gauge goes there is one at the top of the tank. But I don't think it's that accurate because when I filled the tank it was reading about three quarters full. There is a low oil shut off. That being said I don't think you can go wrong for the money. I'm glad I made this purchase.

For the most part it's quiet because other noises drown it out but when time for bed, if you're sensitive to sounds like me, you can hear a low hum. Most times I can tune it out, or maybe I'm just flat tired, so it's not a huge problem. But no, in answer to your question it's not truly quiet. My tank is about three feet parallel to where I lay my head and I can hear it.

The buzzing sound normally increases when the water level is low in the tank.

Not too loud. Kind of a growling hum if the water is shallow and a low moan if the pump is submersed. My cat sits over it and watches it sometimes, so not loud enough to scare a cat. Pump does the trick for me.

I've never heard it make any noise. It's not in our bedroom though it's in a living room controlling a fish tank light.

At least yours still makes noises. That said, I had a similar experience with the HAAN I had. Upon start-up there are loud clicking noises that get quieter as the pump primes with water. The unit I purchased stopped working after the third use.

It is only noisy when the pump is running for a few seconds. It heats up quickly and does not leak. The tank hast to be refilled periodically depending on the steaming level set.

I spoke to Watts about this issue. They said the noise is related to water passing through the membrane. I am still looking into it, but the noise is not constant in our case.

It won't hurt the fish. The one I have does not make any noise expect for the water going in to the tank. Feel free to throw it out.

I have 2 units. One I bought about 20 yrs ago, the other in the past 6 months or so. Both vibrate (oscillate), Neither make a terrible loud noise. The older one is a little more quiet then the newer. Both are not annoying, but do make 'drumming' hum. I do not leave them plugged in, I empty the tank each time and dry it out. I also put a capful of mouthwash into it each time I use it. The new unit is equal to the old one, except maybe for build quality....it could be a perception thing. so far so good.

NO not at all, infact if I could I would have it sent back, you have to turn it on, walk away, far away, shut the door, wait a few minutes and it gets the pressure up, then it will quiet down a little. But fish tank hum, no way. ! Ear plugs needed for sensitive ears and no Talking! Don't want to discourage you, from buying because for the price it does a simple job, but not quiet at all.

it sounds a bit like someone is on life support under the sink. It isn't too loud or annoying though- it is no worse than a fridge and doesn't operate all the time, only when it is refilling the tank. Do be aware though that IF you have the Home Master RO system you need to buy the permeate pump direct from them as this one will void the warranty.

yes, when it's running it will make a humming noise, sometime with a vibration.

Yes it would and may crack your tank, if someone or something puts any try of pressure on it, so i will recommend that you get a piece of plywood at lease quarter inch thick under your tank and thin the stand under the plywood, ok.

It vibrates a little bit as the spindle spins but should not make a lot of noise or a loud vibration. The noise it creates should sound like an air spinning inside the water reservoir.
